- ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Amorphous vulcanizable copolymers of ethylene and propylene or butene-l are extended by mixing the same with monoalkylbenzenes, polyalkylbenzenes, or mixtures thereof.
- the extenders comprise an aromatic nucleus having one or more linear or branched alkyl substituents containing from 1 to 20, preferably from 10 to 20, carbon atoms.
- the present invention relates to vulcanizable compositions based on amorphous polymers of ethylene with an alpha-olefin containing as a plasticizer, extending or diluting agent, a monoor poly-alkylbenzene, and to the vulcanized articles obtained therefrom. More particularly, it relates to the dilution with monoor poly-alkylbenzenes of linear, amorphous, saturated copolymer of ethylene with propylene or butene-l, and to the vulcanized products thus obtained.
- the vulcanization product is not influenced, or only influenced to a minor extent, by the addition of either small, or even relatively large, amount of mineral oils.
- An object of the present invention is a vulcanizable composition based on saturated amorphous copolymers of ethylene with a higher alpha-olefin, such as propylene or butene-l, extended or plasticized with products which inter-react very little with the vulcanizing agents, remarkably less than the best parafiinic oils.
- the ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymers preferably used according to the present invention are the ethylene-propylene or ethylene-butene-l copolymers having a molar ethylene content from 20 to 80% and a molecular weight between 50,000 and 800,000, preferably between 60,000 and 500,000.
- the dilution according to the present invention consists of adding to a copolymer as defined above, and having a viscosity ML (1+4) 100 C. (ASTM D-1646-61) not lower than 20, and a molar ethylene content between -nited States Patent 20 and an alkyl benzene derivative in amount from 5 to 200 parts by weight per parts of polymer, in the presence of vulcanization agents, reinforcing fillers, and of other ingredients commonly used in the vulcanization industry.
- the present invention thus relates to a vulcanizable composition based on amorphous copolymers'of ethylene with an alpha-olefin, containing a reinforcing filler, vulcanizing agents, an extending agent, possibly an antioxidant, characterized in that the extending agentis, selected from the group consisting of monoalkylbenzenes, polyalkylbenzenes and mixtures'thereof, consisting 'of an aromatic nucleus having one or more linear or branched alkyl substituents containing from 1 to 20 carbonatoms.
- the alkylbenzenes can be easily obtained by Friedel- Crafts synthesis or by other common synthesis reactions.
- the alkylbenzene dilution agents preferably have a viscosity varying from 2 to 100 centistokes at 100 C., a molecular weight comprised between 220 and 700 and should not contain moisture and various impurities; they must also have a good flow at low temperatures, a high flash point and boiling point, a low content of ashes and of total acidity.
- exemplary products are pure dodecylbenzene and the commercial product is Preadix 8.
- Preadix 8 is a mixture consisting of 50% of monoalkylbenzenes and 50% of polyalkylbenzenes in which the alkyl groups have a branched chain and contain about 15 carbon atoms.
- Asphalt and resins Absent Absent. Active sulfur Absent. Corrosion test on copper Negative. Ash Traces. Boiling point Above 300 C. Index of refraction (11 1.4899. Aniline point 69.5 C.
- alkylbenzene that gives particularly good results is a mixture of decyl-, undecyl-, dodecyland tridecyl-benzene.
- the technique of addition of these diluents can be that usually adopted for the plasticizers, by operating in an open or inner mixer.
- the diluents can be added during the polymerization or in the successive stages.
- the fillers, other ingredients and the vulcanization agents are then added to these mixtures of diluent and copolymer.
- the reinforcing agent used can be of any type, more particularly of basic type, carbon black of any type, or a white mineral filler.
- the amount of reinforcingfiller to be used is between 10 and 200%, preferably'between 30 and by weight, referred to the copolymer.
- the vulcanization agents to be used are organic peroxides, in amount from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts of copolymer. Any organic peroxide can be used; the most commonly used are dibenzoylperoxide,
- dicumyl peroxide, tert.buty1peroxide, tert.butyl perbenzodiluent, carbon black and sulfur are prepared, while the ate and a,a'-bis(tert.butylperoxy)diisopropylbenzene, peroxide is added in an open mixer.
- a free-radical acceptor in amount lower than the half The compositions of the mixes and the main mechanical by weight of the amount of peroxide may also be used. characteristics are reported in Table 1. As free-radical acceptor, sulfur, quinonic compounds, In the mixes containing the parafiinic oil, the forming furfural and its derivatives can be used. of the mix being the same, the interference of the oil with The vulcanization is carried out by heating the mixes the vulcanizing action of the peroxide is evident. Preadix to temperatures between 110 and 220 C., preferably be- 8, on the other hand, interferes to a minimum extent, and tween 140 and 180. C.
- the vulcanizates containing paratfinic oil are poor, and even with 9 parts of crosslinking agent, they do not reach the characteristics of the vulcanizates containing diluent Preadix 8 and only 5 parts of peroxide. Also, with the same cross-linking agent amount, the better elasticity (lower permanent set) of the vulcanizates containing Preadix 8 is further pointed out.
